Title: Preservative treatment of timber in installed windows and the like
Inventor: NAEVE ARNT
IPC: B27K3/02
Filed: 1983-03-07
Abstract: A method for protective treatment of timber in existing constructions such as installed window frames and door frames. The intention of the treatment method is to protect timber exposed to fungal decay, or already decayed timber, for longer periods of time by supplying a wood preservative and by eliminating and preventing climatic conditions which further the growth of rot. According to the method holes are formed in the wood and a wood preservative is supplied to the wood via these, preferably by injection under pressure. The holes are left open when the preservative has been applied and an efficient release of moisture is obtained hereby. The treated parts are then covered with mouldings or profiles, preferably of plastic material.

Title: Spring core assembly for mattresses and upholstery
Inventor: THOENEN ALAN
IPC: A47C27/06
Filed: 1983-04-20
Abstract: A spring core assembly for a mattress or upholstered furniture comprises a plurality of helical spring cores 1 with two end coils 2a, 2b lying in parallel planes. Each end coil comprises a single substantially rectilinear portion 5a, 5b and an arcuate portion 7a, 7b, so that the end coil has substantially the shape of a circle with a segment removed.

Title: Valves
Inventor: CURRIE JOHN ALEXANDER
IPC: F16K31/383
Filed: 1983-07-11
Abstract: A valve for controlling the flow of fluid from a reservoir comprises a casing (1) defining a chamber (3) and an inlet (4) adapted to be connected to the reservoir, and an outlet (5). The casing contains first and second sealing members, a first sealing member (8) adapted to form a seal between the chamber and the outlet, and a second sealing member (15) adapted to form a seal between the inlet and the outlet. The first and second sealing members are joined by a deformable sleeve (16). The chamber is adapted to contain pressurised fluid which acts on the second sealing member (15) to maintain the seal. Depressurisation of the chamber permits the second sealing member to move, breaking the seal and allowing flow of fluid from the reservoir through the outlet (5). In a modification, the deformable sleeve alone forms the first sealing member. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2161989-A (GB)
Title: Protection of electric power equipment
Inventor: BINNS DONALD FRANCIS
IPC: H01F27/02
Filed: 1985-07-12
Abstract: A power transformer contained within a sealed tank (3) having corrugated sections (4) utilises a vaporisable fire-resistant liquid for insulation and cooling. The tank (3) and corrugated sections (4) are evacuated prior to filling with the liquid in a degassed and dehydrated state at a suitable elevated temperature below its boiling point. The corrugated sections (4) are expansible to allow for expansion of the liquid volume and for the production of vapour during operation of the transformer. When electrical connections (20, 21,) are made from the transformer into gas-filled metal-clad equipment accumulation of vapour and/or gas near the connections may be avoided by making the connections in the side or bottom of the tank. Connections at the top of the tank may be made through a chamber in which any accumulation of vapour is not disadvantageous and from which gas may be vented. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for applying hard coatings and the like to metals and resulting product
Inventor: ALLAM IBRAHIM MOHAMED
IPC: C23C26/00
Filed: 1985-10-16
Abstract: Hard coatings are applied to substrate metals by coating the metal surface, e.g. by dipping the substrate metal in a molten alloy of the coating metals, and then exposing the coating at an elevated temperature to an atmosphere containing a reactive gaseous species which forms a nitride, a carbide, a boride or a silicide. The coating material is a mixture of the metals M1 and M2 of which M1 forms a stable nitride, carbide, boride or silicide under the prevailing conditions and of which M2 does not form a stable nitride, carbide, boride or silicide. M2 serves to bond the nitride, etc. of M1 to the substrate metal. Mixtures of M1 and/or M2 metals may be employed. This method is much easier to carry out than prior methods. Figure 1 shows a substrate alloy (10) with a laminar coating (11). Laminar coating (11) consists of intermediate metallic layer (12) and outer M1Xn layer (13). Figure 1A shows the substrate alloy (10), the outer M1Xn layer (13), a diffusion zone (D), and an intermediate zone (I). The diffusion zone (D) may be an alloy of one or more substrate metals and the metal M2 or it may be an interdiffusion layer resulting from diffusion of substrate metal outwardly away from the substrate (10) and of the metal M2 inwardly into the substrate. The intermediate zone (I) may be a cermet formed as a composite of M1Xn and M2.

Abstract: A pre-spaced seed carrier comprises an elongate member (1) having seeds (2) disposed at predetermined intervals therealong. The elongate member may be a biodegradable thin paper ribbon, the seeds being attached by a water soluble paste (3) which will dissolve after the seed carrier is located in the soil.

Title: BIMOS logic circuit
Inventor: MUNDAY JOHN CHARLES
IPC: G11C19/18
Filed: 1987-12-15
Abstract: A semiconductor logic circuit uses a plurality of clocked interconnected dynamic MOS logic stages in which precharging currents are fed to the stages through clocked bipolar transistors 4, 8. The bipolar transistors driven by the same phase of the clock may have common emitters and common bases, and have a lateral structure. In a dynamic shift register data are stored on the gate capacitances C1, C2 of an input MOSFET of each stage. In a first clock phase 01 bipolar transistor 4 precharges C, in the next clock phase 02 the charge stored in C1 may cause the precharge on C2 to drain away. In this way data is shifted from stage to stage. The next stage operates in a similar way during clock phases 03,04. The use of a bipolar transistor to precharge the gate capacitances increases the speed of the circuit. <IMAGE>
